Alec Baldwin: Closet Homophobe, Classic Liberal

Alec Baldwin: Closet Homophobe, Classic Liberal

Born and reared in what was then the mostly-Republican Long Island suburb of Massapequa, affectionately-known as “Matzohpizza” due to its ethnic makeup, Alec Baldwin went on to Tinseltown and television stardom, and to become one of the most repulsive Leftists in the entertainment world.




That takes some doing considering all the competition!



Most recently in the news for, allegedly, assaulting a paparazzo in New York City, Baldwin has a long history of anti-social, anti-American, anti-family conduct which is not to say his behavior has negatively impacted his popularity among starstruck nitwits who tend to make allowances for their liberal heroes’ idiocies.



Known as one of the most outspoken of Hollywood libs, the 54 year old former husband of actress Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin also seems to be a hateful, closet homophobe. For an iconic Democrat activist and a stalwart Obamian, that should be the kiss of liberal death.



Or, it may not.



A staunch supporter of Barack Hussein Obama and the animal-loving, people-hating PETA, back in 1992, Baldwin was incensed over what he thought was mistreatment of the horses that tow hansom cabs in and around New York’s Central Park.



Having often seen those animals, I can attest to their fine, healthy, well-fed condition, a requisite for the economic survival of their owners.



Not only was Baldwin a horse’s ass in that assessment but his characterization of the hansom drivers as “faggots” was certainly not PC, especially in view of his status as a darling of gay Hollywood.



However, no serious repercussions ensued over his “faggots” remark because, well, because it was uttered by Alec Baldwin and the incident is now two decades old, anyway.



Closer in time was the paparazzo tussle that occurred just last week outside the NYC Marriage License Bureau. Presumably, the actor had gone there to secure a license to marry his newest heartthrob, 28 year old Yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas.



Daily News photographer Marcus Santos contends Baldwin assaulted him for no reason; the actor countercharges that Santos instigated the confrontation. On Wednesday, Baldwin told a national audience on Letterman he believed beating on a paparazzo was funny.



It doesn’t appear Baldwin was joking when he reverted to homophobic form by referring to the Daily News‘ Editor in Chief, Colin Myler, as a “faggot.”



Aside from the fact . . .

Two Teen Terrors: Mitt and Barry

Two Teen Terrors: Mitt and Barry

I don’t know about you but I was neither a perfect child nor an exemplary teenager.




I did well academically but I was often disciplined by elementary-school nuns who thought my childhood antics were inspired by the devil or by a devilish new invention, television. When I became a teen, I was even worse and engaged in activities which today would be deemed typical but in the fifties were somewhat beyond the norm.



Kids and teens say and do the darnedest things, even future presidential candidates.



According to a new Rasmussen poll, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney is currently running 7 points ahead of President Barack Hussein Obama and the president’s mainstream media is running scared, so scared that they are manufacturing absurd issues in an attempt to discredit Romney’s candidacy.



Granted, the MSM didn’t just launch their smear campaign; they have been attacking the former Massachusetts’ governor ever since they perceived him as a serious threat to their hero.



They have suggested Romney’s Mormon religion is nothing more than a cult, they have impugned his character, they have characterized his career in business as rapacious, they have misrepresented his political positions, they have gone so far as to demean his wife.



Now the MSM has dredged up the dumbest accusation yet–that the teenage Mitt sometimes acted like a teenager.



While ignoring Obama’s horrific teenage history, the mainstreamers ran with a story concerning Romney’s high school penchant for pranks and allegedly demonstrating Romney was a homophobic teen bully. His “crime”? He forcibly cut off the bleached-blond locks of a classmate who may have been a closeted homosexual–during an era when gays were rarities mostly ignored by heteros.



Though Romney had forgotten about the unwelcome haircut, he apologized anyway after the muckraking Washington Post, figurative sharpened hatchet in hand, rooted out the story by contacting an old Mitt buddy almost half a century later.



As ABC News subsequently pointed out, Stu White hadn’t even been present during John Lauber’s hair trimming and has no recollection of it any more than Romney or the now-deceased Lauber’s sister do. Yet, WaPo‘s Jason Horowitz was able to somehow delve into White’s mind and write that he “has long been bothered by the Lauber incident.”



Bothered by an incident he didn’t witness and didn’t recall?



After being exposed for its phony exposé, the Washington Post printed a correction, sans explanation or apology, for its outrageous lie.



The 5400-word WaPo hit piece, published Thursday and corrected on Friday, most likely was composed long before Obama suddenly “evolved” into a supporter of same-sex marriage on Wednesday and was obviously shelved pending an opportune time to bash the Republican. . .

The Ambiguous Faces of Bias and Discrimination

The Ambiguous Faces of Bias and Discrimination

We all discriminate and have biases.

When we choose what color to wear, when we pick one political candidate over another, when we buy certain apples instead of other apples, we’re discriminating and exercising our biases. It’s only when discrimination relates to race, gender, national origin, religion and, lately, to sexual orientation that it becomes societally ugly and unacceptable.

To its great credit, America has evolved significantly from our bad old, bigoted days yet bias still exists in large part because people are people and don’t necessarily think their beliefs reflect bias as much as realism and they feel their views are both warranted and true. Then, too, bias and discrimination are often in the eyes of the beholder.

Complicating matters even more, some bias and discrimination are considered less vile than others.

In America’s bad old days, African-Americans were consigned to the back seats of buses, women were welcomed as corporate secretaries but not as company bosses, “Irish Need Not Apply” signs decorated doors of employers, Jews were allowed to loan us money but not own banks, and people like Chaz Bono were regarded as freaks, not dancers.

To be sure, outdated ideas haven’t all died away but whether they are all intrinsically “bad” is debatable.

The Cherokee Nation, a 300,000-strong tribe of semi-autonymous American Indians, just decided that only Cherokees are qualified to vote in their elections, which seems reasonable enough. However, that decision effectively disenfranchised some 2,800 “freedmen,” non-Cherokee descendants of slaves owned by tribesmen prior to the Civil War.

Doing what it does best, the federal government interfered in Cherokee internal affairs on behalf of the 2,800 and the tribal elections are now in Indian limbo.

Was the decision by the Cherokee Nation discriminatory? On its face, apparently so although it would seem that voting in Cherokee elections should be restricted to Cherokees, no? Was it bias? Only if tribal unity is a biased concept.

Demonstrating that the bane of political correctness is not confined to our shores, a more transparent and reprehensible discrimination with no shades of ambiguity is occurring in England. There, in the name of political correctness, children as young as three are being labeled for life with the stigma of being racists and homophobes for the sin of, well, acting like kids.

The Brits have seen fit to register over 30,000 mostly primary-school age children in a government database, a tainted record which will follow them wherever they go, due to such horrid schoolyard infractions as calling another child a “broccoli head” and for improperly using the terms “gay,” “lesbian,” and “gaylord.” . . .

Homophobia Update: A Review of "Falsettos"

Homophobia Update: A Review of “Falsettos”

One of two stories featured in “Homophobia,” http://bit.ly/7AilFF, dealt with a play, “Falsettos,” currently in production at Massachusetts’ Concord-Carlisle Regional High School.

I’m afraid I gave it too short a shrift in that article since “Falsettos” is being “acclaimed,” a popular word in the gay community, as the greatest thing to be staged in the annals of education since Kevin Jennings was installed as Obama’s “Safe [Gay] Schools Czar.”

The plaudits were compliments of the Boston Globe.

The Globe also cited MassResistance.com which headlined “Concord-Carlisle High School presenting depraved homosexual musical’’ in its newsletter: http://massresistance.com/.

It was interesting and apropos that a sophomore girl was picked to portray a boy in this GLBTQ farce after “a small number of boys withdrew their interest after the first round of auditions,” according to the Globe.

One has to wonder how small or large that number was and why they withdrew.

Was it because Ms. Hannah Kilcoyne was a better actresss, because her mom had dumped her dad for a lesbian lover, or because no boys were naive enough to audition for the part?

Directed by homosexual activist/math teacher, good Jennings’ buddy, Peter Atlas, ”Falsettos” isn’t the first Bay Gay State high school play to draw attention from concerned, normal people.

In 2007, “Acton-Boxborough Regional High School staged ‘The Laramie Project,’ an acclaimed drama documenting the aftermath of the murder of a gay college student in Laramie, Wyo.”

Who acclaimed that play which was adapted into a dud 2002 movie of the same title is unspecified. The subject was the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepherd near Laramie.

Shepherd, a homosexual, was viciously murdered by two drunken reprobates and became the poster boy for gay hate crime legislation even though the facts in the case are very disputable: http://bit.ly/4yATDr

Nevertheless, Acton-Boxborough drama teacher, Linda Potter, for some reason presented the play in a public high school as a factual drama and was appreciative of all the negative attention it drew because, “All they did was bring us more attention and a larger audience.’’

It seems the bottom line for homosexual activists is attention, better to attract gays to high school auditoria and better to suck in gullible kids who have been taught diversity of all kinds is the be-all-and-end-all of their education.

As with sport teams, theatrical productions . . .

Homophobia

Homophobia

Whenever I post an article critical of the homosexual campaign to seduce America’s school children into the “gay lifestyle,” I’m always inundated with protests that I’m a paranoid homophobe who manufactures stories out of thin air just to cast a slur the LGBTQ community.

Well, I would if I could but no manufacturing is necessary.

In my humble opinion, that “Q” has recently been apended to the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transsexual movement’s acronym to denote “Questioning” to encompass normal kids confused by all the homosexual success lately in gaining acceptance in some quarters.

That success is amply illustrated by the following, both of which stories involve that alleged paranoid homophobia:

. California Junior High Presents Pro-Homosexual ”Workshop” to Kids: Assuming their parents were dolts unable to understand gay indoctrination, 8th grade future leaders children at Goleta Valley Junior High School in Santa Barbara were subjected to 3 forty-five minute indoctrinations orchestrated by a gay rights group.

Not that any suggestion was offered to parents as to what Principal Veronica Rogers and teacher Christine Shaw really planned.

Shaw described the innocuous event in an email: “Pumpkin Bowling at lunch. . . with a quest speaker from Just Communities, [the gay group] a local NPO (non-profit organization) centered on fostering diversity and tolerance. The speaker will be addressing issues that students here at GV face, and give them tools to handle these situations in positive ways:” http://bit.ly/8KyDhK

Not a word about homosexuality-indoctrination.

The workshop “included handouts defining homosexual terminology, including queer and transgender, and listed ‘heterosexism’ as ‘oppression that “pushes down” people who are LGBTQ . . . and “pushes up” people who are straight.”

Even the rhetoric is suggestive. . .
